Been on the pokies long enough to know there’s no magic system hiding out there, so I’m not asking how to beat the game or any of that carry-on. More just curious how the regulars here set up a session so the balance doesn’t get absolutely smoked in 10 minutes.
I used to keep it dead simple and run the same bet the whole way. Lately I’ve been breaking the bankroll into a few separate cracks at it instead, especially on the really swingy games. Sometimes I’ll give a machine 80-100 spins at one level, then either chuck it in, drop the bet, or nudge it up a touch if it actually feels alive. Not talking martingale nonsense, just trying to manage the damage a bit better.
What do you lot do these days? Same bet all session, tie it to a percentage of the roll, only raise after a hit, hard stop after losing a set amount... something else? Keen to hear from people who’ve been around a while, especially if you play the volatile stuff where one bad arvo can chew through heaps before you even blink.
